Pop-up trailers are the lightest and most affordable towable RVs. Because of their overall lighter weight, many pop-ups can be towed by mid-size trucks or SUVs. Their low profile in travel position, plus lighter weight, makes them some of the most fuel-efficient RVs on the road.

Most pop-ups can sleep four to six people, depending on size and design. Some models even offer slide-outs that give more living space. The pop-up interior typically offers a small refrigerator, sink and a cooktop that can be used outside the RV. Some models are equipped with a toilet and shower combination. Pop-up trailers range in length from about 8 to 20 feet in travel position. New models start at about $5000 ranging up to about $20,000.
